Utilization of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for Selecting the Best Design Concept of Conveyor System

Accurate concept selection during product development is a crucial process. Inappropriate selection could reason the manufactured goods to have a high failure rate in the market. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) offer as an alternative tool to cater decision-making process. AHP act as a tool in almost all applications related to decision-making problems. This paper presents the methodology and results of a case study which adopts AHP concept. The steps taken can be a guideline that will be able to assist designers or engineers, to effectively analyze various design criteria, alternatives at the conceptual design stage, and finally a precise decision-making.
